Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Thought: This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to notice that figures composed of two right rectangular prisms can be decomposed in different ways which will be useful when students find the volume of figures composed of two right rectangular prisms in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, comparing the side lengths of the two figures is the important discussion point.

Activity Synthesis
“Do you think the pictures show the same figure? Why or why not?” (Yes, they look the same. Yes, I can use the given side lengths to calculate that they are the same.)
